Having grown up in Los Angeles I am partially ashamed to admit that I had never been to the La Brea Tar Pits. It was on our summer to do list and since we're members now at the Natural History Museum, we get into the Tar Pits for free. It was great and an easy museum you can complete in half a day. We packed our lunches and went with some friends and had a great outing.

You will notice how in the photos Greta separates herself from the pack of boys ever so slightly. It cracked me up when I loaded all the photos since I didn't notice it at the time. Her two preschool teachers have already commented on her toughness and ability to handle herself. They have commented on her confidence and independence. Wonder where she gets that from! This girl may be girly but she can stand up for herself!

The actual tar is all fenced around and impossible to get to, but somehow Sawyer found the only patch not fenced and ended up with tar all over his hands and arms. Fortunately inside the museum they have a jar of goo to take it off.

Date night that was only made better by our extra plus ones. Sometimes we clean up nice and go to the thee-ah-ter, and it’s a good thing we had Sawyer with us who gave us a whole history lesson on the Federalist Papers and the Revolutionary War on the drive down ☺️ #hamilton #mylifeatplaytimedates

Dreams coming true for this guy tonight ✨AAHMAZING...#hamilton

Slime Sundays. Found this in my camera roll. I have a hate hate relationship with slime, and they have a love love one. 🤨 #mylifeatplaytimehome

Oh Taylor. Quite the night with my girl and her bestie, my sister and I showed them how it’s done 😆 I could’ve just watched Greta and actually I think I did the entire time. She sang her heart out, swipe to the end, the “it’s my favorite song” melted me because at that age what is better than going to a concert and your favorite song by that artist being played and you singing at the top of your lungs to it?! It’s like it happened all over to me again ❤️ Oh and then Selena Gomez shows up and then you’re mom of the decade for a few minutes 🎉 #taylorswift #taylorswiftreputation

This is Louie. It’s time I officially introduce him on here and not just in my stories. We adopted him last week after Aaron found him on the street and no one claimed him at the shelter. He’s scruffy and kinda old and has a horrible haircut and doesn’t know his new name yet and also doesn’t know what a toy is, but he’s housebroken and kind. He spends every day thanking us for saving him so we told him he could stay. Welcome to the family Louie. He has his own Instagram highlight on my profile page if you’d like to see how funny he is and his story from the very beginning. #mylifeatplaytimewithlouie #mylifeatplaytimehome

Blueberry season has officially begun in our backyard and by backyard I pretty much mean the one blueberry bush #mylifeatplaytimegarden

Spring is blooming on the trails 🌼☀️💛

We celebrated a few weeks ago because this weekend is a 🌪 of activity. 18 years ago today I chose to love you for every day of my life and I have spent every day since loving my choice. You’re everything I’m not and that’s a whole huge mess of things too long to list. So I’ll just say thank you for completing me... #18years #ourmarriageisalegaladult 📷: @joshelliott

She doesn’t keep her eyes on the road very well...👀 #mylifeatplaytimeatdisney #sailergram

I’m always on the hunt for beautiful, delicate jewelry and in case you are too, I have to share this necklace. And sometimes our men need help in what direction to go 😆 I had been wanting an everyday necklace for a loooong time, one that I could wear layered or alone. Aaron designed this 🙌🏻 with our kids initials and it hasn’t left my neck in two weeks and probably never will. This post is not sponsored in any way. Just sharing because it’s caring ☺️ I’m usually not a jewelry fan, and am always in favor of practical presents (one year he got me the vacuum of my dreams 😆#imserious #amazing) But as I get older I am appreciating pieces that I can wear every day and have meaning behind them.

Thanks @maya_brenner for being really good at your craft ❤️ And thanks babe for being a good listener and figuring out how to Instagram stalk what I like ❤️
